Many thanks to everyone who invested in the Ubuntu MATE project this
month. You have been generous as always and ensured that we can meet
all the costs associated with running the Ubuntu MATE project. As usual
we’ve be able to fund some developers to work on Ubuntu MATE and MATE
Desktop projects.

How will this months crowd funding be spent?

This months crowd funding will be used to pay for:

All Ubuntu MATE CDN, WAF and email charges for September 2016.

Paid €880 (taking into account currency variations) to Open Source developers for working on Ubuntu MATE and MATE Desktop projects.

This brings Ubuntu MATEs total funding to Open Source projects and developers to approximately $10555.33 (taking into account currency variations).

Supporting Open Source

Ubuntu MATE is comprised of many Open Source projects, we recognise
that. Each month Ubuntu MATE has surplus funds we will make
contributions to Open Source projects, or developers working on
projects, that Ubuntu MATE directly benefits from.

This month Ubuntu MATE has paid several Open Source developers to work
on Ubuntu MATE or MATE Desktop projects.

Unfortunately one of the MATE Developers is having difficulty with their
bank and has been unable to received their July, August or September
sponsorship from Ubuntu MATE. We have €300 set aside for when we are
able to make a successful transfer.

Thank you to everyone who has invested in Ubuntu MATE, you are really
making a difference to the development of Ubuntu MATE and the MATE Desktop.
